[78-L] Lacquer discs recorded at 80 rpm

[David Lennick]

I still have yet to see a VHS, Laserdisc, DVD or CD purporting to contain "all 
the Oz music" which includes the six minute Overture, which exists on vinyl 
pressings, one of which I've held in my hands. I don't know if it was used in 
roadshow presentations or played in the lobby or what its purpose was, but it 
definitely exists.
